In the Road Conditions list grid, create strata that include road features with the same road state, risk, and inspection frequency. Through strata, uphold your obligation to maintain by ensuring that inspections are completed as planned.
By stratum, quickly capture:
- associated feature(s)
- state
- when the obligation started
- current risk and associated inspection frequency
- when the last inspection was completed
- when next inspection is planned
- when the next inspection is due
Once stratum records are created, they can be referenced and reused on Inspection Activities.
The Road Conditions list grid is located on the Road Summary page.

From (Km), To (Km), and Distance (Km)
Distance (Km) is read only and = To (Km) - From (Km). Where From (Km) and To (Km) in Road Feature Type strata overlap, they will be displayed in red on the Road Conditions list grid.
Features
Available selections are managed on the Feature Ledger. Other than Road Types, features available for selection will be those that exist between the From (Km) and To (Km) entered for the stratum. Other than Road Types, once a feature is selected in a stratum it will not be available for selection in other strata.
